Good for High Performance Games & Software's,but less battery backup (1-2hr) and problem with keyboard keys after 1year usage. Also main problem is with laptop screen , automatically switchoff's the screen when using it normally.

Unable to find Asus stores to get it repair with trust.

Laptop's ok But service don't ask for it

I just got this laptop for 40k. and i am sure you can buy a better laptop in this range.My graphic card was defective and it was replaced by some old graphic card and my microphone also was not working.Screen is not so good and even sound. I better suggest go for something else ;-(

I had been trying very hard to find the Asus K53SV-SX520D but the model was thoroughly sold out.Then I came to know that Asus is going to launch a better version soon with upgraded graphics and I knew that I had to buy this without further delay.

The ASUS K53SM-SX010D is simply,as my title suggests,a beast.I am not going to go into technicalities as the specifications are for all to see. What makes this model standout is the latest Nvidia graphic card. Some may argue that there is not much difference between GT540 and GT630 but once you start playing, it is noticeable.(I have tried the GT540…I had been trying very hard to find the Asus K53SV-SX520D but the model was thoroughly sold out.Then I came to know that Asus is going to launch a better version soon with upgraded graphics and I knew that I had to buy this without further delay.

What makes this model standout is the latest Nvidia graphic card. Some may argue that there is not much difference between GT540 and GT630 but once you start playing, it is noticeable.(I have tried the GT540 too).Crysis 2 and Elder scrolls : Skyrim easily work on medium settings.

As far as heating up is concerned, the laptop stays cool while watching movies and carrying out normal operations. Once you start a high requirement game,the temperature starts building up. But it's nothing that can't be offset by a decent cooling pad. Just make sure that you don't strain the machine much(I am talking about marathon gaming sessions)

Altec lansing speakers while not awesome,are very good.They are loud in a silent environment and audible in a noisy one.USB 3.0 is blazing fast.The laptop color and finishing screams WOW. I am a person who looks for black in everything but I must say brown looks cool on this.

Only thing I'd say could have been better is the battery life.While playing games,it drains quickly and gives about 4 hours of normal computing.Also, at 2.6Kg it isn't exactly light but hey I am not complaining.---------------------------------------------------------

Overall I am very happy with my laptop (didn't buy it from flipkart though) and would recommend it to anyone looking for a good gaming machine with other features thrown in. (Expand)

Good laptop but could have been better

I order it on 3rd of May, 2012 and writing a review after using it for 18 days. It is a good laptop to buy, but you must know what to expect from it.

0. If you have any doubts regarding the laptop getting damaged in transit, please rule them out. FlipKart delivers it in an "Imossible to Damage" pack. Also, I ordered it on Wednusday night and got this on Friday noon.

1. The Windows Experience Index rating for this is 5.3. Details are -

Processor - 7.0RAM - 5.9 (could have been better, it is 1066MHz, a VAIO in same range has this 6.1)Graphics (For Windows Aero) - 5.3Gaming Graphics - 6.…I order it on 3rd of May, 2012 and writing a review after using it for 18 days.

2. nVidia GeForce 630M is just a re-branded name for nVidia GeForce 540MX. So, keep comparisons in check. It is a DDR3 memory GPU and doesn't have an HDMI out. All the display output ports are connected to Intel HD Graphics 3000. However, with nVidia optimus technology, it performs well overall.

3. Linux users may find over-current run messages for USB 2.0 ports while installation and boot and will have to make some serious effort to install "Original" nVidia drivers (from nVidia GeForce website), but it would be worth.

4. I found the display quality good.

5. USB 3.0 helped me to transfer data at around 40-60MB per second which was considerably faster than USB 2.0 (around 10MB per second).

6. ASUS IceCool technology doesn't mean that the laptop doesn't get heated at all. It means that when the laptop gets heated on processor/graphics intensive work for long hours, the palm rest doesn't get heated as much as that happens with the other laptops.

7. Battery life is fair.

8. You may find DVD drive noisy.

Overall, it is good for the price.

Now when Intel 3rd generation processors have been launched with Intel HD Graphics 4000 and you can find ASUS laptops powered by them(and are on flipkart), it is good to wait a little.

Shaktimaan....;)

I was looking for a laptop in the 45k range and as luck would have it I found this masterpiece. Let me give you a quick review based on my first week experience....

good:1. brilliant looks...u cannot not like it....the metal body is both good looking and sturdy in equal measures.2. ice cool technology.... the machine never heats up even after hours of continuous use(7 hrs of non-stop gaming in my case)3. the graphics are without doubt the best you can get in this range, the might of nvidia gt630m is always at display whether you are involved in heavy multimedia work or just plain gaming.…I was looking for a laptop in the 45k range and as luck would have it I found this masterpiece.

USB 3...is unbelievably fast.

not so good:1. the speakers!! the only area where one might complain.....the sound quality is allright but the volume is really disappointing...even the 400% of VLC won't help here....but hey.....SHAKTIMAAN ain't perfect either....:)

Just Plain AWESOME!!! with a few not-so-awesome features :P

First of all : Thank you flipkart for making this amazing laptop available to us!Though I am a huge fan of flipkart's delivery service, this time the courier service(Aramex) screwed it up. It took them a week to deliver the laptop to me...but no worries, these things happen in India.

Now, as far as the laptop goes, here's what I thought after using it extensively for a week :

PROS:

1. Intel Core i5 2450M.Though originally clocked at 2.5 GHz, it uses Turbo Boost to go up to 3.1 GHz which is simply amazing!

2. NVIDIA GeForce 630M.This is a mid range card and plays almost every game there…First of all : Thank you flipkart for making this amazing laptop available to us!Though I am a huge fan of flipkart's delivery service, this time the courier service(Aramex) screwed it up.

1. Intel Core i5 2450M.Though originally clocked at 2.5 GHz, it uses Turbo Boost to go up to 3.1 GHz which is simply amazing!

2. NVIDIA GeForce 630M.This is a mid range card and plays almost every game there is with medium to high settings. I have played COD, FIFA and BF and am very satisfied with it.

3. 750 GB HDD.Ample space which lets me keep all my data such as movies, games, tv series and other random stuff.

7. Price.There is no doubt about it that with these specifications, this laptop is a steal.

CONS:

1. Keyboard.The chiclet keyboard, though it looks good, is very flimsy. Some keys, like the spacebar and the number 7 key in my case(don't ask me why, I have no idea.) need to be pressed rather forcefully as compared to other keys.

2. Touchpad buttons.The touchpad buttons are harder than I would like and not to mention extremely loud. The touchpad itself is very good and smooth though.

3. USB Ports.There are only 2 USB 2.0 and 1 USB 3.0 port. There should have been at least 4 ports in total.

Neither here nor there:

1. Hinges.I previously had a Dell Inspiron 1545 which had a hinge problem(as in they broke.).Though it is still too soon to tell, but the hinges (in Asus) don't look too sturdy to me. The only reason I say this is because they look too small for a 15.6 inch screen.My Dell laptop's (also 15.6 inch) hinges were almost 4 times the size and the left one still broke.Personally, I would have been happy if these hinges were at least twice the size they are now.

********Simply Outstanding, both this laptop and Flipkart*******

A rightly earned review by flipkart and AsusFirstly about the laptop.***Specifications***1]Style- Looks good, nice brown color. Keys are really soft on the fingers. 2]Graphics - The GT630M card coupled with the 4 GB DD3 RAM works so well with so many games. Absolutely no lag, no perfect movement even with heavy duty games like Crysis 2 and Battlefield 3.3]USB 3.0 works like a charm. Wish there was more than one of the USB 3.0 ports(though there are additional 2 USB 2.0 ones)4] DVD ROM works without any problem.

***Experience***1]The ICE -COOL technology is really "COOL". The laptop does not heat like most laptops after basic use. No need of a laptop fan when only surfing and doing work.2] While playing you can feel the heat, that's when the fan can be used.3] Battery life is good, not exceptional.4] HD display is really impressive. BluRay movies look wonderful on this laptop, gives you a really good movie viewing experience. Fonts look very clear.5] I run many programs simultaneously and the second gen i5 processor manages all of it with ease. No lacking in response time6] The speakers is the only dismissal part, but you cant get everything at a throw away price of 39K right.

Overall this is a beauty with beast features ;)

Now about Flipkart Oh Flipkart! I have fallen in love with you.

System Review

Review: There are certain pros and cons for this system. I am not saying that this is waste of money though since I would definitely suggest this system to any other person asking me about a decent gaming laptop.

So here are the pros:1. Has an integrated cam -- helps a lot for the Skype part, you don't have to shell out extra money. Trivial since majority of the systems have cams at the moment, still one of the pros.2. Has a 2GB Nvidia Gfx card that can burn majority of the games. I have as of now completed Ghost Recon Future Soldier and Modern Warfare 3 and they ran seamlessly. COD ran in …Review: There are certain pros and cons for this system.

So here are the pros:1. Has an integrated cam -- helps a lot for the Skype part, you don't have to shell out extra money. Trivial since majority of the systems have cams at the moment, still one of the pros.2. Has a 2GB Nvidia Gfx card that can burn majority of the games. I have as of now completed Ghost Recon Future Soldier and Modern Warfare 3 and they ran seamlessly. COD ran in high and GRFS needed to be run in medium. Now some people might think that I am joking, but given the bus width of this gfxCard, it has the capabilty to run Crysis(I am not sure as to how the textures would come up since the minimum requirement for Crysis is fulfilled with overclocking).3. Has onboard gfx that is powerful enough to run many games as well as develop too. I tried Irrlicht and it ran fine with everything enabled.4. A powerful processor which no doubt gives the best performance be it designing, programming or gaming.

Cons:1. This one is a con for the *nix user since this system comes with a gfx card that has optimus technology. Hence if you are trying to use Ubuntu 11.04 or 11.10 or later, the unity might not load up even in the liveRun session. There is a way to get around that -- start with nolapic and other such flags. Better start with Ubuntu 10.04 for a "Lucid" installation and then upgrade. Should work out. I am using Lucid till now.

The gfx card burns continuously and the *nix user is unable to use the juice that it has -- one suggestion -- use bumblebee. Works like a charm.

2. Doesn't detect the Synaptic H/W for the horizontal and vertical scrolling of the mouse - emulates the mouse in Linux

3. Has only 2 USB 2.0 ports and one USB3.0 and an HDMI. Another USB 2.0 would have been handy.

i think i dont need to explain about its features as other members have done it before,, only drawback of this laptop is , there arent any 32 bit drivers of this laptop ,,, i must mention u can boot a 32 bit os in this laptop but u will end up without drivers,

the best thing about laptop is ,, its cool every time like asus have installed a freezer inside it,, mine dosent heat up,, and if u have laptop cooler ,, then u dont even worry about heat issues,

for those who are addicted to gamin here is a TIPu can pop out ur battery and run this beast directly on AC power ,, this helps improve ur batter life,, becoz gaming on batterym ode will surely kill ur battery i been doing this every time ,, i never use my laptop battery whne iam at home, just plug ur ac adapter and have gaming marathon,, some laptop dont support this kinda direct power, but iam glad asus have cover all field,,

there absolute no need to worry about its servicing ,, go for it ,, and planning to buy same brand for my sister,,..and if anyone finds its 32 bit driver pllz share a link on youtube (Expand)

ASUS sounds to me like :: A Simply Ultimate Sensation :: Just gives u the perfect value for money without compromises.

Specs are all to wonder upfront. Its very nice look and feel adds to its power which certainly makes it gud to hold. In normal usage like watching movies, listening music, surfing, programs and apps usage etc. the battery stays well for 3-4 hours. Tochpad is really gud to use. I have played some games requiring decent graphics like The Amazing Spiderman, Dirt 3, RaceDriver Grid 2 etc. and they work well in 'High' display settings.

One thing i found lacking was the sound. Though it delivers fine quality sound powered by Altec Lansing speakers its not that loud. But thats ok with it as its noteably audible :)

No words to say about the flipkart delivery. I received it surprisingly after 1 day only.
